Property Tour – Offers Over £1,650,000 – The Manor House

Hi everyone, Marie from By Design Homes here 
and today you join me at this incredible Grade 2 Listed Georgian Manor House in the beautiful 
village of Mears Ashby in Northamptonshire. The property sits on just over 1.3 acres and 
it’s completely private and secluded. There’s also almost 6000 sq ft of flexible living 
accommodation with 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a beautiful kitchen with orangery, 
a large drawing room with library, a huge cellar and so much more! The Manor House 
has been beautifully restored within the past 15 years with a double story extension just to 
the left hand side, making the house beautifully symmetrical. You’ve also got new plumbing and 
new wiring as well as a restored roof. There’s also over 2300 sq ft of outbuildings which I’ll 
show you a little bit later on in the video, but one of them would make an incredible 
annexe and there’s also a huge new garage with a hydraulic car lift as well. This home is 
perfect for entertaining and for family life and it also comes to the market with no onward chain, 
so come on in, let’s have a quick look inside! I love this space. This is a bespoke Mark 
Wilkinson luxury fitted kitchen and you’ve got the beautiful granite worktops and 
multiple Miele integrated appliances, including the electric hob here with the two gas 
ring hob and you also have two ovens, the steam oven and the microwave oven as well. Just to my 
left here, you have the oversized warming drawer. There’s also a full height fridge and a dishwasher 
just behind me, there’s a great pantry space and also a utility room which offers space for a 
washing machine and a tumble dryer. Now follow me to the beautiful orangery, which is perfect 
for entertaining and for family life as well. Just off the entrance hall you’ve got 
the large cellar, so come on down and let’s have a quick peek. You’ve got this great 
cellar that has three large vaulted sections which is perfect to store your wine, or you 
could even convert this to an amazing bar. This is such a fantastic drawing room, 
perfect for entertaining. You’ve got beautiful tall ceilings, the marble fireplace 
with log burner and to the right over there, you’ve got the beautiful library as well. 
You might be worried in a house this size about the wifi, because the walls 
are so thick, but the vendors had Cat 5 cabling installed throughout just to 
make sure that this wouldn’t be a problem. Up on the first floor, there are four 
big bedrooms and three bathrooms, but come with me and let’s have a little look at 
the main bedroom. This main bedroom is enormous, but what I love the most about it is 
having your own beautiful en-suite here, and to the other side of the room, you have 
a large dressing room as well. There are four Sonos speakers in this room, but you’ll find them 
built-in throughout the entire house as well. There are six bathrooms in this property and 
they’re all lovely, but this one is especially nice because there’s underfloor heating and 
it also is a jack-and-jill in between two good sized double bedrooms. But the best 
part is this really nice walk-in wardrobe here. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms 
on the second floor and there are two staircases to get there. There’s also a living room so 
it’s perfect for families who have teenagers or if you’d like to send guests up there. So go 
and have a little look and then meet me in the garden. One of the outbuildings behind me has already 
been converted and there’s two rooms downstairs and one upstairs, currently being used as office 
space and a library. There’s underfloor heating downstairs with a radiator upstairs and all 
of that is on its own boiler as well. If you were to add a kitchenette and a bathroom, it 
would make an incredible annexe. There’s also to the other side a workshop and an outdoor 
toilet, which is perfect for entertaining, for the kids playing outside or even for the 
gardener, because trust me, you’ll want one with this beautiful plot. These were the former stables 
which currently are used as a workshop and some storage, however, planning has been approved to 
convert this building and actually go up a full story as well. This planning formed part of the 
original planning with the garage which has been implemented, and this means that it’s valid 
indefinitely. It would be great for a studio, a gym, another annexe if needed or even just 
a party barn to entertain in the summer. The Manor House’s gardens are spectacular. You’ve 
got this raised terrace the entire width of the property, which is perfect for al-fresco dining 
and for entertaining. Steps down lead to the formal garden which was originally the cricket 
lawn. There’s also a second seating area just to my left, which is underneath a beautiful 
pergola. Follow me down these steps so we can go see the rest of the garden, which includes 
some bee hives and your own duck pond as well! Thank you for joining me on the 
tour of this incredible home, for any more information or if you’d 
like to book your exclusive viewing, please contact me on the details 
that are about to follow.
